MTV presenter Stephen Bear – he of Celebrity Big Brother fame – has managed to infuriate bosses at the entertainment network after concocting a false story about a member of Little Mix storming out of the filming of Just Tattoo Of Us, the show he co-presents with girlfriend Charlotte Crosby.

The premise of the inky series sees Bear and Crosby egging on couples, friends or family members to give each other tattoos – with the receiver of the tat not knowing what design they’re having inked on their skin for life.

Seems like a decent gig, right? Well, it wasn’t enough for Bear, who has now been caught out telling porkies about an unnamed member of Little Mix appearing on the show.

Speaking to Star magazine, Bear gave this answer when asked about his favourite celebrity guest on Just Tattoo Of Us.

‘Someone from Little Mix. I was star struck.I can’t tell you who it was, but she actually stormed out and had to call her agent. It was mad,’ he said.

However, in an exciting twist, Bear’s tall tale has managed to raise more than a few eyebrows at MTV HQ.

An insider at the network told The Sun: ‘No one has any idea why Bear said someone from Little Mix came in to the show because it simply isn’t true.

‘None of the girls ever came to filming. Bear can be a bit wild sometimes, no one knows what he will come out with next!’
